COMPOSITION OF MATTER FOR FIBEPROOF AND FIRE-RESISTING 'PUTTY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 16, 1907.

Application filed June 8,1906. Serial No. 320,687.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MARX, a citizen of the United States, residing at No. 56 Paterson avenue, in the city of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Oomposition of Matter to be Used as a Fireproof and Fire- Resisting Putty, of which the following is a specifica tion.

My composition consists of the following ingredients combined in the proportions stated. Vizr Vegetable'oil, (linseed preferred) 24%- lbs. Chlorid of zinc 8?;

Whiting... ...-.l40

These ingredients are to be thoroughly incorporated and combined together by being ground together by means of a heavy mill or grinder, and can by the means of using more or less of the different parts of the composition obtain different grades of the composition making the same lighter orheavy as may be desired, according to the weight of the frames or structures for which it is to be used upon, and can at the same time use any kind of vegetable oils according to the quality or grade as may wish to obtain.

By the use of the above ingredients especially the vegetable oil the composition orputty, which is'for all ordinary purposes, weather proof and water proof, is rendered fire resisting and fire proof: and will not ignite or crumble, or lose its bond when exposed to flame. Thus the composition, while retaining its other qualities is rendered at the same time water proof and fire proof: in consequence of which frames or structures in which it may be used will offer much greater resistance to flames, and will be rendered by means of the putty much safer and more durable.

By the use of the vegetable oil or oils (linseed preferred) the putty becomesthoroughly fire resisting While it retains all the qualities and serviceability of the highest class of such composition and offers strong resistance to the penetration of dampness and the injurious effects of the variable degrees of the Weather whether it be extreme heat or cold. I

I am aware that all manufacturers use vegetable oils in the manufacturing of putty but I do not know of any manufacturer ever using chlorid of zinc until my discovery of producing a fire resisting and fire proof putty as aforestated but I am not aware that, the ingredients as used by me have been used before for making a fire proof putty as stated and combined together.

I claim 1. The herein described composition of matter consisting of vegetable oil or oils chlorid of zinc and whiting for putty rendering the same fire proof and fire resisting and at the same time water proof.

2. The herein described composition of matter consisting of vegetable oil or oils chlorid of zinc and whiting as specified in substantially the proportions specified to make a tire proof and fire resisting putty.

JOHN MARX.
